	Alfred Thayer Mahan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commissioned as a Lieutenant in 1861, Mahan served the Union in the American Civil War as an officer on Congress, Pocahontas, and James Adger, and as an instructor at the Naval Academy.
		The books' premise was that in the contests between France and England in the 18th century, domination of the sea via naval power was the deciding factor in the outcome, and therefore, that control of seaborne commerce was critical to domination in war.
		Mahan's influence sowed the seeds for events such as the naval portion of the Spanish-American War and the battles of Tsushima, Jutland and the Atlantic.

		Teaching plebe mathematics each morning from 8:00 to 11:00 caused a severe burden on Mahan for he could not attend his own mathematics class except on those occasions when Mathematics Professor David B. Douglass was giving a lecture to the plebes.
		In this article, Mahan mentions "my old friend and professor years ago, General Poncelet, Member of the French Institute." I presume that this resulted from his study in France.
